Critic Reviews

Janet Maslin

The latest Irwin Allen disaster movie is When Time Ran Out, which is waxen even by Mr. Allen's standards. Read full review

What a silly movie this is. [11 Apr 1980, p.19]

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

With cheesy special effects (even the volcano isn't convincing, considering the film cost $20 million) and a hole-ridden script, this film offers precious little to like. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Amid all the tension, the volcano blows its stack. 'Is anything wrong?' someone asks. 'No, nothing's wrong' says someone else. Something is very wrong. Read full review

Screen Rant Paolo Alfar

This film has everything that makes a disaster film as an actual film disaster. With unconvincing effects, bland performances and a convoluted story, When Time Ran Out… is a dud, critically and financially. Read full review
